Gallerie De Bautte - Sidell

I love metal sculpting because I can see what started out as a concept in my mind become a tangible work of art. I sculpt from my studio on the bayou outside of New Orleans. The slow flow of the water down the bayou puts me at one with nature. It helps ease the long hours of meticulous work. Yes, it takes a lot of time to sculpt a piece. However, the time is dwarfed almost to insignificance when compared to the eternity that a piece will last. This concept gives me great pleasure. The enduring permanence of my art means that my work will still be here long after I am gone.

As for the creative process, my canvas is a hard metal usually aluminum. With my arsenal of brushes which consist of band saws, grinders, sanders, sand blasters and welding machines, I slowly shape, refine and define each piece until in my minds eye I envision what no one has seen before, the future.

Since all designs are individually created, I can alter any dimensions or add color. If you see a coffee table or a dining table that you would like as a foyer table or desk, just let me know and I'll create it.
